Former U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris' presidential campaign at a California fundraiser on Sunday. The event, held at a San Francisco hotel, raised more than $12 million and marked the conclusion of a swing state tour by Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.
Speaking to the enthusiastic crowd, Pelosi praised Harris, highlighting her achievements and her connection to the successes of Biden's administration. "This is a good day when we welcome Kamala Harris back home to California," Pelosi said, underscoring Harris' extensive political background in the state.
Pelosi's support comes at a pivotal moment following President Joe Biden's recent withdrawal from the race, which Pelosi is credited with influencing. Harris urged supporters to stay vigilant, emphasizing the importance of the current political climate. California Governor Gavin Newsom also attended, and Harris warned of the consequences if former President Trump returned to office.
